Randy’s Free Pick

The Anaheim Ducks don't play well on either side of the ice, they don't win on the road, and things don't get better for them on the end of back to backs. The Tampa Bay Lightning are the clear better team at both ends of the ice, they have the rest advantage, and they're a tough team to bet against at home. I have no choice but to side with the Lightning, and I'll lay the PL to shave down the price.
